Pharmacy Professionalism Toolkit for Students and
Faculty
Provided by the APhA-ASP/AACP Committee on Student Professionalism

The primary goal of the APhA-ASP/AACP Committee on
Student Professionalism is to promote the professionalization of student
pharmacists and pharmacy faculty. To achieve this goal, the committee
developed a resource of specific activities and strategies that students
and administrators can utilize to effectively promote and assess
professionalism on their own campuses.
This document provides professionalism activities in six
broad areas as listed below. For each area, the committee has attempted
to identify the “successful practices” used in the
nation’s colleges and schools of pharmacy. Each section reviews
what has worked well in the past and provides insights into possible
problems that may occur when trying to implement these activities.
Examples of pharmacy institutions that have experience with the program
or policy are provided as reference points. The committee recognizes
that other AACP member institutions may also implement similar tools,
events, or programs, but committee members were not aware of these
activities and apologize for any glaring oversights. The toolkit also
references activities described in the abstracts submitted for the 2004
AACP School Poster Session. Although an abstract may include information
about numerous professionalism activities within the institution, the
toolkit may only highlight one of these activities. The activities and
references in each area are not listed in any particular order.
In developing this toolkit, the committee considered
four key stages to addressing professionalism within colleges and
schools of pharmacy:
- Define attributes related to professionalism
- Identify relevant behaviors that correspond to those attributes
- Create a culture of professionalism in pharmacy schools and practice
settings
- Develop valid and reliable means of assessment and feedback.
AACP and APhA-ASP would like to see the Pharmacy Professionalism
Toolkit serve as a living document and continue to evolve over time.
Please see the information below if you would like to make a
contribution to an existing activity in the list or suggest new ways to
promote professionalism in pharmacy education.
